Teenagers on media deliberating over gender politics. The purpose of 90% of the scenes with all the characters screwing around is to show their flawed teenage perspective, prefaced by the scene that discusses how selcom had huge implications for society as a whole that children just ignored and got attached to anyway. Having Miyao get to the point where he's begging the malicious voice in his head to give him a clearcut answer on who the real enemy is the culmination of that in Phase 1's story.

Did anyone else notice that it was 1983 Satoko in this flashback?
Looping Satoko who is acting as a spectator is shown as her Saint Lucia form but the Satoko in this scene is her 1983 form.
I believe the purpose of the scene was not to show Satoko not caring about her brother and moving on but rather to show Satoshi's death and that he will never awake from his coma.

There never was anything deep about the Satoko-Lambda connection. It was just people making comparison between the shitty consoloe sprites as "evidence" and taking the jokes from the minigames at face value.
Gou is hard retconning since its also dismissing Umineko Tsubasa's Memoirs of Lambda too.

Pretty much, since IIRC R07 confirmed that LD only granted Takano a wish and thus made her a game piece of hers in the lead up to a manga of his.

Gou pretty much made more sense considering how Lamba and Bern were former rivals, and that they fought each other before.

I have an extremely cynical nature and always expect the worst of people, always assume they have malicious intent in every good or even neutral action towards others, so it looked like Umineko was made specifically for people like me, to change that mindset.

I say this with certainty. The bully events either have to be something that's public knowledge, which is super doubtful considering the school, or another part of the story. Otherwise, Eva's Diary being opened in EP8 is something that actually has to happen, because it directly refers to Ange's bullying, and can't be written by anyone besides Ange herself in that case.

Gou was an idea from quite a while ago. DragonKnight07 didn't specify it exactly, but he said the plot is from a time when "there was only a 10% chance of gettign an anime". After being asked to send over a rough pitch, he apparently "wrote a phonebook in a week". Apply pinches of salt as needed. I guess if it feels rushed it could be because no one did any editing after that, lol. (See the first Gou NicoNico panel in October.)
Now we obviously don't know how fast things progressed from there, but considering anime production in general and that Gou was delayed due to COVID, I think it's reasonable to say it's from around 2018, maybe closer to 2017 or so. Though how much of these ideas had been developed before turning into a story is anyones guess.

If Satoko is going to become Lambda he can't actually namedrop Lambda yet.

Same reason Rika is just called "cat", you're meant to get the Umineko reference, but she can't be called Bernkastel yet (well... she could in Rika's case, but due to the anime never using the name for Rka outside of one line in Saikoroshi it makes sense they'd avoid it).

If he's trying to avoid blatant Umineko references that people who dislike Umineko would acknowledge, it's odd he'd even use Featherine's design in the first place.

I think that is a terrible, terrible misunderstanding.
The scene is symbolic, yes. But its real implications are much more gloomy and horrifying.

Remember episode 17, the episode where we saw the aftermath of the happy world Satoko engineered just for Rika. In this world where Takano confessed, the clinic was also closed, Irie arrested and he may never return to treat Satoshi.
It's not just Satoko accepting Satoshi's fate. No, believing in fate not Satoko's locus of control, that's Rika. No, she actively and knowingly created worlds that would lead to Nii-nii's death. Just for Rika's happiness.

Satoko was a spectator who could freely move around and see the fragments even after Rika had died. Rika wasn't always present in the montage we saw. She definitely knows more than Rika.

I don't think Gou will end with looper Satoko dying and Rika treating JK Satoko better as a result. That would mean killing off looper Satoko after all this development.

Considering we never saw the original Satoko or Rika dying (Satoko merely touched the horn and her consciousness was given looper powers), it's possible they will return there somehow. But I think there is a more likely ending than that.

Whether JK Satoko got Mario'd and turned to ash or she had her consciousness copied to the sea of fragments to be a looper while her original self simply put the horn in its place and left the shrine, the fact is that Rika never died in that world. She went with everyone to Angel Mort. Even Featherine can't just force her to loop unless she's dead. And she never died.

Satoko's consciousness has been looping back into worlds branching from the Matsuribayashi arrangement of pieces, trying to convince a non-looping Rika (who does remember her own loops from the original Higurashi) to treat her better in St. Lucia. After her betrayal she ended up killing her with the chandelier. But this Rika is not the original from Matsuribayashi, that one went to Angel Mort and never died. This Rika is one that only just defeated Takano and still hasn't gone to St. Lucia. She remembers her own looping history, but she doesn't remember any of these new loops. Satoko killing her with the chandelier means nothing to her because it's a new Rika every time, the chandelier only means that Satoko has decided to start killing these Rikas if things don't go her way.

The Rika in these worlds is always the same one, fully determined to leave Hinamizawa after finally surviving her own loops. Satoko keeps killing her but it doesn't stick because it's a new version of this Rika every time. In episode 22, Satoko said goobye to Satoshi because she's decided to live as a looper. She also saw all the original fragments Rika went through, losing empathy for some of her schizo friends but maybe gaining affection for Keiichi. The thing is, she now knows all the triggers to fuck with Rika's worlds and ruin them.

Here's the important part. After episode 22, Satoko went through another loop, let Takano lose like in Matsuribayashi again, let Rika go to St. Lucia and let her act like a bitch to her, before getting them both killed. But this time she had asked Featherine to preserve Rika's memories in these new loops. That's why she made Featherine send a figment of Hanyuu (which we see at the start of episode 2) to inform Rika of this. This is why Rika wakes up in the sea of fragments at the start of that episode wondering what the fuck happened and why she isn't at St. Lucia. Satoko has been looping for a long time, but this is when Rika starts keeping her memories and effectively looping. The Rika in the previous loops was basically an NPC like everyone else, only with memories of having been a looper up until then and a strong desire to leave Hinamizawa.

This means that the original Rika from the VN is alive in that world. Satoko went through some loops and killed past versions of this Rika (starting with the chandelier). And now she allowed one of them to go to St. Lucia (to commit the sin of mistreating Satoko) AND keep her memories of all the loops going forwards. So technically Gou Rika is a new Rika that splits from the ending of Matsuribayashi, while the ORIGINAL Rika from the VN is still alive and who knows what became of Satoko's body in that world.

It's very possible that VN Rika and VN Satoko (from the ending of Matsuribayashi) are still alive and made up at Angel Mort after Satoko left the horn in its place. While looper Satoko is a copy of that Satoko's consciousness, split off from her when she touched the horn. And Gou Rika, who is being forced to loop with Satoko, isn't even the same Rika from the VN. Technically she has the same memories and experiences, but she's a different one because the original is alive.

So Gou will end with looper Satoko and looper Rika awakening as Lambda and becoming Bern respectively, BUT their original Matsuribayashi versions from the VN are still alive and well and probably managed to become friends again.

>The whole thing about Takano changing 180
Takano was always hesitant about her plan. We only saw the worlds where she went through with it because Lambda's ccertainty manipulated the odds so Hanyuu and Rika would ALWAYS end up looping into worlds where she doesn't change her mind. If the odds were truly random and not manipulated by a witch, Rika and Hanyuu would've found a world where Takano gives up pretty easily (It's a 50/50 chance judging from Takano's own monologues halfway through Matsuribayashi.

It's also possible that she has dreams about her future with Tomitake in the Matsuribayashi ffragment, making her more likely to give up from now on (like Shion never mistreated Satoko again after Meakashi, that lesson is strongly imprinted on her soul in all the other fragments even if it's another version of her that experienced it).

It's also possible that it has to do with Satoko and Takano originating from the same brain in a jar. One awakening as a higher consciousness could affect the other in some way.

There, three different explanations. But the first one is the most likely and basically canon. Takano was very determined, but the original Higurashi's worlds were always artificially skewed against Rika and any world where Takano chickened out at the last moment (which we saw her considering in her internal monologues) was scrapped and Hanyuu couldn't access it.

>> No.33584625

>>33584274
This seems to be the case.

Which means you can take or leave Gou. It doesn't really affect the ending of the VN, other than Rika and Satoko having a rough relationship at St. Lucia.

In short, both looper Satoko and the Gou Rika she's torturing have the same memories as the originals, and are effectively the same people, but their consciousness is different. They are like exact copies of the originals, who still exist in the Matsuribayashi world and probably made up at Angel Mort, where Satoshi was waiting for Satoko.

These new Rika and Satoko start out as exact copies of them but slowly turn into Lambda and Bern, or remember their true self in Lambda's case.

It's similar to how piece Battler still existed but an exact copy of his consciousness in the meta became a badass wizard. Or how EP4 Ange still existed as a human while an exact copy of herself was created in the meta and experienced different things in Beato's game.

Exactly. Ange jumping off the skyscraper elevated her consciousness to the meta while her original self stayed a human and was caught by the safety net. From that point forward their experiences split off and become different, but they start out with the same memories and experiences.

Satoko touching the horn is the same thing. Nothing happened to her body or her mind, it was simply copied to the meta and we are following that version of her. And then she "created" a new looper Rika that split off from one of the post-Matsuribayashi Rikas when she was given the ability to preserve her memories and have a continuous experience over multiple loops.

>change of heart right before the watanagashi
I'd argue that the "change of heart" happens during the Watanagashi festival. From Watadamashi we can see there isn't anything different about her, she still breaks into the Saiguden. It isn't until after Takano and Tomitake split off from Shion and K1, that things go differently for them. In Onidamashi Takano and Tomitake simply go missing, in Watadamashi they steal a van. We don't know what happens to them in Tataridamashi, but in the last arc from Nekodamashi she decides to turn herself in to Tokyo, something we actually aren't sure happened in the other arcs.

In Onidamashi Takano and Tomitake "go missing". Later K1 goes to the clinic and is turned back by someone who I assume is one of the Bloodhounds. Did Takano hand herself in here? We don't see her admit it to Rika, and it's too early in the fragment for Rika to have forgotten about it, Rika is still suspicious of Takano in the later arcs. So did Takano really turn herself in? Or was she simply caught? If she was turning herself in every time why would she and Tomitake steal a van during Watadamashi? Maybe she only turned herself in during Nekodamashi? I'm not sure whats going on here....

Probably, but they presented it as a crazy idea that may or may not make any sense. I actually explained why it HAS to be the case and pointed out examples of the same thing happening in other stories, as well as how this leaves the original VN ending untouched and unharmed while simultaneously serving as an origin story for Bern and Lambda.

People acting like Gou ruins the VN ending are misunderstanding things. It doesn't affect it other than the St. Lucia thing.

People acting like this has to be the same Rika and the same Satoko because "it doesn't feel right" for them to be separate consciousnesses are misunderstanding things too. Just because Onikakushi Keiichi and Tatarigoroshi Keiichi are "different Keiichis" split off from the same exact guy doesn't mean one of them is fake and we shouldn't care about him. When a Keiichi remembers things from other arcs, it's just that, memories. It doesn't mean the past Keiichis are somehow reincarnated as him. They will never experience any of it, their memories are simply passed down to a different version, making that version feel like he experienced those memories first-hand.

People acting like everything being a matrix ruins the series are also misunderstanding things. If everyone is a brain in a jar with no possibility of experiencing the "real world", the matrix is all they have. It's their reality. And if the matrix is exactly like the real world and doesn't feel like a matrix at all and cannot be manipulated artificially (other than "witches" doing their thing), the matrix may as well be the real world for all intents and purposes.

I'm guessing from the different results we see in Onidamashi, Watadamashi and Nekodamashi, that there are multiple methods that Satoko uses to break Takano.

Does she confront her directly? What could she say to Takano that would do that?
We know Satoko has seen the original 100 years, so maybe she she knows what to say to get that effect? Maybe something similar to what Tomitake says to comfort Takano at the end of Matsuribayashi? Maybe she just guilt trips her Or maybe Satoko somehow informs Tokyo about what is going to happen?

If Satoko tipped Tokyo off about Takano's plan in Onidamashi I can see that being the reason that she and Tomitake simply went missing, they could have been kidnapped by Tokyo. Alternatively Satoko could have scared them off somehow or even just kill them herself. The Police aren't able to find them so that makes them hiding out in the woods less likely.

Watadamashi... the fact that Takano and Tomitake steal a van is strange in the first place is strange. In Onidamashi we see that Takano has her car at the festival, it was left abandoned after she went missing. Why would they steal a van and not take Takano's car if they were trying to run for their lives? Did she not bring her car to the festival during Watadamashi? She lives in Okinomiya so I would expect her to bring her car every time. Was she unable to take her car out of the parking lot for some reason? Did Satoko command them to steal the van for some reason? Why would she do that?

Nekodamashi has the best result for Takano, she gets taken into custody but she turns herself. She's also got Tomitake backing her so it's likely she will receive a weak sentence. She seems to fully regret her actions when talking to Rika, so its most likely she was shown the error of her ways here.

Saikoroshi was not retconned at all. Why do people keep saying this?

The Rika in Gou is just different from the one that went to Angel Mort, because Satoko looped back to 1983 Matsuribayashi. The original St. Lucia Rika experienced the Saikoroshi world. The second looper Rika trapped in Satoko's loops never had the chance to experience that, including the one that died from the chandelier who never even looped.

Hanyuu probably knew she would disappear when her horn healed, so she wanted Rika to respect her parents and stop being Rika's mother figure. She said she felt guilty about stealing that from Rika's mom since Rika's birth and making her seem like a weirdo, ruining her relationship with her mother. And then she made Rika loop to save her from Takano, which only made her detach herself from any affection for her parents because they are doomed anyway.

Hanyuu wanted to stop being basically Rika's mother because she knew what would happen in the future when she became Featherine. She wanted Rika not to be so attached to her because she will turn into a monster. This is also why she was so hesitant to help Rika back in the original and wanted to stay in the loop for as long as possible. As soon as Rika moved on from 1983, her horn healed and she disappeared, coming back as Featherine. And then Featherine ignored Rika completely and only revealed herself to Satoko to fuck Rika over and reawaken Vier.

If Satoko is Mitsuyo's brain in a jar (who is in turn Jestress' real name and she's a clone of Vier), who is Rika? She has to be a brain and it's unlikely that she's some random person.

Featherine/Seshat called her a cat. What if she's actually referring to Koshka? The Geroy scientists called her a kitty as well because her name means cat.

Rika is Koshka's brain in a jar after the 1000 year long immortal zombie apocalypse. She did say she would start anew in a new world as a new person. It would be fitting if the dumb Russian hick became a cuterori living in a hick town in rural Japan that makes mii sounds like a damn cat.

The second looper Rika doesn't have Hanyuu even in 83, we literally see her abandoning Rika in episode 2. And her life is constantly derailed by Satoko anyway, but even then Hanyuu isn't there to take her to that world. Which required a truck accident to almost kill her, something that could not happen again if Rika did things even slightly different as a result of random chance or Satoko acting different because she's looping. Just wearing a different shirt or waking up a minute later could make the accident not happen at all.

The one who got chandeliered in 1987? Same as ep22 Rikas. They're forks of the original looper Rika, but those forks of consciousness aren't continuing.

We still haven't seen how the second looper Rika (who's looping with Satoko) died in St. Lucia in 1988.
I assume it'll be in the next episode. But I find it a little strange, why would witch-Satoko go that far into St. Lucia again? Just to have a Rika who has memories of betraying her? And yet, we don't even know if the ep1-17 Rika had such memories, or if her time in St. Lucia was somehow different.

Yeah. There is the original looper Rika who went to Angel Mort and had the truck accident in 83 that lead to Saikoroshi. She is alive and Satoko probably is too, as looper Satoko probably split from her in the same way meta Ange did in EP4.

There are the Matsuribayashi-based Rikas from looper Satoko's early loops. These are like Keiichi and the others and don't remember Satoko's loops, only Rika's original loops which made her so determined to leave the village. These didn't experience Saikoroshi at all, not even the one in Satoko's very first loop, because that required Hanyuu being around (might still be the case, we see her as a human, but presumably disappears before 84), Rika having a freak accident by pure chance (which would almost certainly not happen again, since Satoko's actions would always create differences in small details like that even if she didn't mean it). So Hanyuu is around for long enough for Saikoroshi to happen before she disappears when the horn heals, but it does NOT happen because the chance of a freak accident like that repeating during that short span of time is ridiculously small.

And there is Gou's looper Rika, which is the same as the above Rikas but given the ability to remember Satoko's loops (and then improved to remember her deaths too). This is the Rika we see at the start of episode 2. We can see her remembering St. Lucia, which means Satoko let the story advance that far before choosing that Rika as the one that will remember the loops. Hanyuu leaving Rika explains why she isn't around to help in 83 during her Gou loops, even though she was around for like a year before disappearing in the original world AND the early Satoko loops. As soon as this Rika is made into a looper, Hanyuu disappears for her even in 83.

This looper Rika, just like the others, is unlikely to have gone through Saikoroshi, due to its sheer improbability and the fact that she only had ONE world with Hanyuu around (her original world where she went to St. Lucia with looper Satoko). As soon as Satoko kills her somehow, she appears in the sea of fragments in episode 2 wondering what happened and with Hanyuu saying she can't help.

Aside from all this, one of the reasons people thought Saikoroshi had been retconned (which is ridiculous due to its importance for Rika's character) is that Rika is looping again when she said she wouldn't even if she died young. But that doesn't matter because 1. This Rika did not experience any of that, only the very first JK Rika did and that one is NOT looping at all. And 2. Rika isn't even looping by choice, she's being dragged into this by Satoko and Featherine.

If everything turns out to be like this, it's actually a genius move by Ryu. It would make the loopers turn into Bern and Lambda while the original looper Rika and JK Satoko are still alive in their own world and get over their problems. And they probably meet Satoshi at Angel Mort.

Featherine is basically using JK Satoko's misery to create a scenario where JK Satoko's split off meta copy starts looping, causes the existence of a second looper Rika split off from a past version of the original and both of them end up miserable guro-obsessed witches. Especially Satoko/Lambda because she accepted doing all this looper bullshit and never realized that she could've remained as a human and met Satoshi again if she refused Featherine's offer.

It's like how Yasu gave up and planned to commit a forced mass suicide because she was given the tools to do it, never realizing she could've simply opened up to George and nothing bad would happen.

The fact that Gou leaves the original Rika and Satoko untouched (aside from the high school drama), but feeds off their drama to drive alternate versions of them to ruin and looper misery is actually genius.

Yes, the meltdown alone would be amazing and elevate Gou to the next level. It'd undeniably be more interesting than Gou itself, and watching all the waifufags and shippertards cry about how K1 didn't end up fucking their favorite character or how Rika and Satoko didn't get a perfect happy ending would be glorious.

Aside from all this, people complain about the high school drama and Rika and Satoko's characterization (which does affect the original versions of the characters directly).

But Matsuribayashi already made it clear that Rika forgot all about Minagoroshi (where she learned to believe in a miracle, where Hanyuu scolded her about how she treated Satoko like a pet or a trophy, etc). And Gou doubles down on it, showing us how Rika is surprised from seeing the tsubame gaeshi and Akasaka appearing at the toy store. It's basically telling us to remember that Rika forgot Minagoroshi and all the lessons she learned there, which justifies her behavior and her treatment of Satoko at St. Lucia. The VN itself even had commentary from Ryuukishi saying that Matsuribayashi was a cheap victory for Rika because she forgot her lessons and challenged the readers to come up with an even better finale. Even Hanyuu in the credits says that she wants more, that they can be even happier, etc.

As for Satoko, people tend to forget she's mentally ill and Irie said her brain is conditioned to be a bit fucked even after the syndrome is cured (this is from Minagoroshi, not something Gou made up). She's co-dependent of Rika because all her other friends have moved on. Rika is the only one keeping all her mental fuckery, guilt over her parents and Satoshi, and everything else in check. Rika betraying her makes her feel alone and suddenly all the shit she's been repressing comes back without her having any emotional support. It's not as simple as saying she doesn't want to study or that she wants to monopolize Rika.

And Rika literally forgot Hanyuu's lesson from Minagoroshi about how she treats Satoko like a cute pet instead of a human with agency. Rika wanted to leave the village and radically change her environment, taking Satoko with her as a trophy of her victory, as a familiar face she wants to keep around, thinking very little about Satoko's needs.

Saikoroshi had Rika return to her world.

Now that's genius. Think about it. If he made Matsuri a bit of a let down on purpose that gives him the perfect excuse to just create "even better and happier" endings forever.

Hanyuu apparently disappeared at some point between Saikoroshi and Watanagashi of 1984. When Satoko got the test results of her medical exam and Irie said she was cured, Rika said that Hanyuu was gone and that this had something to do with everyone suddenly being cured very easily. Then years later Satoko enters the shrine and there is Featherine. This is all in the original world from the end of the VN.

So the world you mention would probably also have Hanyu as a human and then disappear a year later because of the horn healing. The same goes for all the Satoko loops before she makes Rika into another looper.

Hanyuu only seems to disappear for good when the second looper Rika starts looping and Hanyuu's figment is sent by Featherine to tell her all that. Then Rika appears in the Onidamashi world (instead of a world with all the pieces set up for Matsuribayashi) and Hanyuu isn't there at all, not as a human or as a ghost.

Maybe they merged? Bernkastel was always an amalgamation of all the dead Rikas, whether they died once or looped for years on their own. In the end they all merge into a single being. Gou Rika can't merge yet because she's still trapped within the game, unlike the original Bern.

Gou is what turns the playful Bernkastel from the end of Matsuribayashi into the mindbroken Bernkastel that knows miracles don't occur because her happy life was stolen from her by her best friend who is now a lesbian with a guro fetish and they have a love-hate relationship.

If stories are being told somewhere in the world that are still good, that still don't smell like mulch, they are a threat to globalism, which seeks to destroy all meaning and all aesthetics. Such must be bribed, integrated into the system, and all their values turned upside down. Trace the ideological route of Ryukishi:
1. An independent village with traditional values in Higurashi
2. Jerking off to Western names, art, architecture, and at each other's throats by the wretched products of racial mixing from Umineko, with hints of transgenderism
3. A direct advertisement for the covid, the virtualized tool of globalist terror
So you see, yes, that Ryukishi notices where the power lines of evil run, and licks them up for some pathetic handouts.
The next step is Ryukishi's sex change, which Shkanon was a prerequisite for.

I guess Featherine could always import chandelier'd Rika's memories into a new Rika, making her into the looper. That does make a lot of sense, I agree.

The looper isn't the last Rika to die, it's the one whose memories are saved and given to a new Rika, no matter how many loops old those memories are.

It fits very well because chandelier Rika was the one that promised Satoko she would never abandon her and then did it anyway.

Immediately I say this is going to be a big wall of text, please at least ask someone to pay attention.
Someone recently wrote that Knox doesn't apply to all episodes, but why does it? Beatrice is often referred to as the personification of the rules of the game board. The player's goal is to unravel these rules, to learn how the pieces move and what conditions must be met to win. It is, after all, the same game board with the same rules, which must always be the same. How can it be that the decalogue applies or not depending on whether we are told it in the current game? It is as if we first play chess on a chessboard, but the next game on the same board and with the same pieces has not been explained to us-and so we play checkers.
What is the point of all this written above? I recently came here with some on the first twilight of the third episode, the trick with six closed rooms. And I was told that Yasu had locked herself in the chapel from the inside and that's how the sixth locked room was formed, but...
3. The existence of hidden passageways is not allowed.
Secret rooms, niches, double walls of cupboards, and similar things whose existence cannot be confirmed by examining the room are forbidden. It is believed that if there is any such thing in the room, the detective will find it when he searches the room.
"A latch/internal lock that the detective could not find on inspection" would also violate the third Knox, not just the eighth.
And Beato is responsible when it comes to following the rules, she is the rules herself.
And then there's this red truth:
When the door to the chapel is locked, it prevents any and all methods of entry or exit.
In other words, it is also impossible to enter through the window without breaking it.
If we go a little deeper, only when Rudolf broke the window into the living room with Shannon (episode two) and the window into Kinzo's study (episode five) was it always mentioned that he did it in such a way as to reach the window handle and open it already with the handle. But Gohda (episode two) broke the window into the chapel completely - I don't know if it was stupidity, or if the windows there are so handle-less. In the second case, the "Yasu just leaves one of the chapel windows open in advance" option is also ruled out.

As a result, for the chain of rooms we have:
1) Beatrice's definition of a closed room, ruling out an unlocked door and pretending (throughout the episode she claims to follow Knox's rules);
2) windows in the chapel that cannot be opened;
3) the inadmissibility of bolts/interlocks in view of the rules that Beato strictly enforces;
4) there is the possibility that Genji, an 80-year-old athlete with no such prerequisites, who has run great distances in a short period of time while the adults have only examined two rooms and miraculously not caught sight of them, is pretending to be dead in the last room by magic to mask his shortness of breath.
5) a variant where Shannon and Kanon are different people. One of the four - Shannon, Genji, Gohda, Kumasawa - pretends to be dead, after which he is actually killed.

Or should I believe in the great window in the chapel after all? Perhaps there doesn't have to be a handle. Windows can, for example, go upward, then it's easier to break such a thing completely from the outside than it is to break it neatly. From the inside, of course, no problem lifting it up. Well, or Gohda could really decide that the situation is so desperate that the integrity of the windows doesn't really matter anymore, since they're breaking it. But the red truth I mentioned earlier... help me, anons...

See pic related. Beatrice's goal was never a traditional mystery v fantasy in accordance with orthodox mystery rules. Beatrice's goal was to get Battler to regain his memories and remember his sin. It's entirely possible that Knox and Van Dine don't apply to the earlier gameboards, which is why there's no detective in them like there is with the gameboards Erika is present on.

>Vier looks younger than like Natsuhi or Eva.
Because she is. She disappeared after Miyao was born and the scientist was surprised by how young she looked even though it had been so many decades since then.

She went into the lab and obtained immortality or became a virtual clone or whatever in her early 30s, so she's literally as old as Takano is in Higurashi. Toujirou is the one that aged, and he's probably around 45.
